drown in the miracle
of my fire
It lures them close
before
turning them to instant ash
Neither fire nor victim
aware of the danger
until survival
is out of the question

This is the place on-line where I park my spontaneous thoughts, poetry, etc. "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." ~ Rudyard Kipling "Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society." ~John Adams "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." ~Marcus Aurelius
And the fire either never learns, or is rekindled with a clean slate every day
